The goal here is not to have the kernel handle interleaved XA files ADPCMdecoding etc but rather prevent applications from having to do all sortsof ioctl gymnastics and CDROMREADRAW just to get at the data. Rather havethe kernel do it transparently so they can just fopen() them as regularfiles.

So the XA sector size is 2336 bytes, what other issues are there otherthan the odd sector size?
